We evaluated the influence of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -C936T polymorphism on prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cirrhosis, and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Serum VEGF and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were deter...
Laparoscopic resection of liver tumors located in the posterosuperior segments is a challenging operation that could be facilitated by robotic assistance. Laparoscopic resection of 12 tumors located in posterosuperior segments (IVa: 1; VII: 5; VIII: ...

Although color medical images are important in clinical practice, they are usually converted to grayscale for further processing in pattern recognition, resulting in loss of rich color information. The sparse coding based linear spatial pyramid match...
AIM: This case series aimed to explore the occurrence of synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma in cirrhotic patients and to propose a potential common pathogenic mechanism.
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of early recurrence (ER) is essential to improve the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent thermal ablation (TA). Therefore, a deep learning model system using longitudinal magnetic resona...
The complementary information found in different modalities of patient data can aid in more accurate modelling of a patient's disease state and a better understanding of the underlying biological processes of a disease. However, the analysis of multi...
Purpose To develop deep learning (DL) radiopathomics models based on contrast-enhanced MRI and pathologic imaging to predict vessels encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods In this ret...

OBJECTIVE: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a heavy global disease burden; early diagnosis is critical to improve outcomes. Opportunistic screening-the use of imaging data acquired for other clinical indications for disease detection-as well as t...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is associated with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Topology may improve the predictive performance and interpretability of deep learning (DL). We aimed to develop and externally valida...
BACKGROUND: Patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) generally have good survival rates following surgical resection. However, a subset of these patients experience recurrence within five years post-surgery.
